Asura System Notice: [Town Defense]
The battered gate loomed as a 500-strong A-Rank goblin horde surged forward beneath a bruised sky. Among them, two AAA-Rank hobgoblins wielded bloodied greatswords and axes, while three AAA-Rank shamans chanted dark incantations. Fighting alone on Floor 30 of the Trial, Feng Jian held the front line, his twin blades the town's last hope. At the rear, the S-Rank Goblin Chief barked orders, his axes spinning with lethal intent.
Objective: Defend the town; minimize civilian casualties.
First Wave: The Goblin Onslaught
The goblin horde erupted from the forest in a cacophony of guttural shrieks and pounding feet. Five hundred strong, they crashed against the cracked gate. Arrows rained from the walls, but the sheer mass pressed forward.
Feng Jian planted his feet and recalled Master Mark's drills:
Focus Qi around the blade. Become the storm.
He invoked Aura Skin—shimmering green wind Qi enveloped him—then sprang into action.
Dragon Tempest Walk – His form blurred, slipping through the front ranks. Each afterimage carved through lines of goblins before they even realized he'd struck.
Tempest Dragon Claw – Three rapid slashes formed wind blades that tore through shields and flesh, staggering fifteen foes.
Tempest Storm – Gathering wind from every direction, Feng shaped it into a serpentine dragon that roared through the horde, cleaving a 10-meter swath of goblins.
Poison Fang Throws – He flung a dagger through the chaos, striking a goblin captain in the eye; the toxin silenced its scream.
Guardian Parry – A crude pike lunged from the side—he deflected it with his off-hand dagger, sending it spinning into the dirt.
Only sixty seconds passed, Feng noted as goblin corpses littered the ground. Two hundred down. Their numbers dwindle.
Second Wave: Shamans & Hobgoblins
The shamans' chants intensified. Walls of flame and shadow erupted. Feng steadied his breath.
Fireball Barrage screamed through the sky. Feng countered with Tempest Breath, slicing through the embers.
Combustion Blast ignited behind him—he spun using Dragon Tempest Walk, wind coils shielding him.
Inferno Rain fell; he dashed beneath collapsing roofs, blades whistling.
Shadowbind roots struck at his ankles—he escaped with Shadow Step.
Behind the shamans, two hobgoblins charged.
Time to finish this phase.
Feng met the greatsword with Storm Wing Slash; the spinning wind arc knocked the weapon free. Simultaneously, Madness-fueled axe swings came at him. Feng unleashed Tempest Dragon Claw—three clawed blasts shredded armor.
Shaman 3 attempted Protective Ward. Feng shattered it with dual strikes, then pierced the shaman's back with Duye Serpent Fang, draining life.
Finally, with a whispered Tempest Storm, he summoned a gale dragon that engulfed the remaining hobgoblin, incinerating dark Qi and shattering bone.
Final Wave: The Goblin Chief
A hush fell. Then, the Goblin Chief roared. Crimson lightning crackled around his axes; his eyes blazed red with Berserker Aura.
Feng steadied his swords. He felt the storm within the chief's veins.
Aura Skin vs. Stormcall – Green wind clashed with red lightning as the chief summoned thunderclouds. Feng parried bolts with Guard Fang.
Tempest Breath – A focused beam pierced the chief's shoulder, disrupting a Skydive Strike.
Tempest Dragon Claw – Feng dashed forward with three rapid strikes, puncturing the chief's armor.
Enraged Assault – The chief's axes spun in a frenzy. Feng vanished with Dragon Tempest Walk, reappearing behind to deliver Stormbreaker, a fusion of wind, natural, and storm Qi.
The luminous spear of energy pierced the chief's heart. The red aura flickered... and died.
Flames, Shadows, and Soul Qi
The shamans unleashed:
Firewave – A rolling blaze surged toward Feng.
Shadowbind – Dark tendrils erupted from the ground.
Soulflare – Qi explosions detonated underfoot.
Feng met the barrage with blade and breath. Sparks flew as he parried, then dashed through their ranks. With Tempest Dragon Claw, he shredded robes and quelled summoned flames.

Their towering forms collapsed under his relentless assault.

The red lightning sputtered—and died.
Victory in Twilight
The goblin horde broke. Their cries faded into the distance. The gate still stood.
